This article covers how to create additional Instagram accounts on the app and website, plus how to switch between accounts, post to multiple accounts at once, and more.
Why Create Multiple Instagram Accounts?
You need multiple Instagram accounts if:
You want to keep your personal account private while publicly sharing other content. You have an existing personal account and want a new one for a business or brand. You have content for a specific interest that you want to share separately from your personal account, such as photography, makeup tutorials, fashion, drawing, or fitness.
Having multiple accounts connected to your Instagram app makes it convenient to switch between accounts and check them regularly throughout the day.
